Call Chain Tracing

\n

Trace execution flows through the codebase using the\ncode knowledge graph.

\n

When NOT To Use

\n\n

Prerequisites

\n

This skill requires the gauntlet plugin for graph\ndata. Discover it:

\n
GRAPH_QUERY=$(find ~/.claude/plugins -name \"graph_query.py\" -path \"*/gauntlet/*\" 2>/dev/null | head -1)\n
\n

If gauntlet is not installed: Fall back to static\nanalysis. Use grep to trace function calls and build\na Mermaid diagram manually from import/call patterns.\nSkip graph-specific steps.

\n

If installed but no graph.db: Tell the user to run\n/gauntlet-graph build.

\n

Steps

\n
    \n

  1. Accept target: Get a function name or entry point\nfrom the user (or trace all entry points).

    \n
    2. \n

  2. Run flow tracing (requires gauntlet):

    \n
    python3 \"$GRAPH_QUERY\" --action flows --depth 15\n
    \n

    To filter by entry point:

    \n
    python3 \"$GRAPH_QUERY\" --action flows --entry \"main\"\n
    \n

    Fallback (no gauntlet): Trace calls with rg (or grep):

    \n
    # Prefer rg (ripgrep) for speed; fall back to grep\nif command -v rg &>/dev/null; then\n  rg -n \"function_name\\(\" --type py . | head -20\nelse\n  grep -rn \"function_name(\" --include=\"*.py\" . | head -20\nfi\n
    \n

    Build the call tree manually from search results.

    \n
    3. \n

  3. Display as indented tree:

    \n
    main() [criticality: 0.72]\n  -> validate_input()\n    -> parse_config()\n  -> process_data()\n    -> db.execute_query()\n    -> cache.store()\n  -> send_response()\n
    \n
    4. \n

  4. Generate Mermaid flowchart:

    \n
    flowchart LR\n  main --> validate_input\n  main --> process_data\n  main --> send_response\n  validate_input --> parse_config\n  process_data --> db.execute_query\n  process_data --> cache.store\n
    \n
    5. \n

  5. Show criticality breakdown:

    \n\n
